The problem of rent has become a pressing social concern in the twenty-first century, encompassing a wide range of issues such as climate emergency, economic inequality, and the impact of global economic crises. While many people are familiar with the concept of rent, its true nature and implications remain a subject of debate. In his book, Joe Collins offers a comprehensive yet concise survey of the theories and debates surrounding rent and rentier capitalism. Through his examination of various concrete contexts and complex concepts, Collins provides a deep understanding of rent's role in the current dominant form of capitalist social organization across the globe.
He explores global gentrification, the tyranny of technology, and the excesses of extractivism in cities such as São Paolo, Dublin, Taipei, San Francisco, and Sekondi, Karratha. By examining these diverse examples, Collins reveals how rent is fundamental to the functioning of capitalist economies and how it contributes to the perpetuation of social inequality.
This groundbreaking book is an essential resource for students and scholars alike, particularly those interested in capitalism, property, political economy, economic sociology, and contemporary politics. It offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of rent and provides a roadmap for preventing the next generation from experiencing the devastating consequences of rent-driven societies.
